ROCKVILLE

As the result of Detective Fielding's work in town last week, looking up the band of roughs and hoodlums who have committed numerous offenses in town, in- cluding the breaking up of the Salvation Army meetings, etc, three arrests were made, and the prisoners brought before Justice Henry, Monday afternoon, for trial, Great interest was taken in the cases. and the court room was packed with people. John Schol and John Beckman were charg- ed only with breaking down fences in front of the White gingham mill, and they claimed that they met Fielding that night, and he gave them liquor to drink out of a bottle: They pleaded guilty and were fined $1 and costs, amounting to $17. A William Powers was charged with breaking the door at the Salvation Army Temple, at the time of the riot, week before last. One witness stated that he saw Powers kick in one of the panels of the front door at the time the riot at the temple occurred. Pow CTS stated that he was in the hall when the disturbance began, and then went outside, and waited near the coal cars few min utes, and then went away. He denied breaking the door. W. Frank Fay ap- peared as counsel for Powers, and asked the court to adjourn the case until Tues day, as he stated that 8 man named Kenedy confessed to George Clayton at Winder- mere that he broke the door, and that Ken. edy was now out of the state. Justice Henry stated that he did not suppose Pow CTS was the only one who kicked the door. but as it was proved beyond doubt that he was one of the crowd that did, would give him ten days in jail and $7 and costs, as he thought it time these disturbances were stopped. The case was appealed to the superior court, and the bonds wore placed at S100.

order TO avoid the conscription which caught
eight of his brothers. he left his home. and for

BUSINESS TROUBLES.
Columbian Bank, of Philadelphia. Closes Its
Doors-Failure Said To Be Complete.

PHILApELPHIA, July 30-The Columbian
Bank, State institutions, closed its doors this
morning, and on its door was a notice posted
stating that by order of the board of directors
the bank would make assignment for the
benefit OF creditors. At noon another notice
was issued saying that the assignment had been
made to s. Edwin McGargee and F. p Herman.
two attorneys. All efforts to obtain any state
ment as to the amount of liabilities or assets
proved futile, both the bank officials and the
assignees declaring that they had not had time
to inquire into the condition of affairs yet. It
is believed, however. that the failure is a com
plete one. President Bell, of the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank, with whom the Columbia has
kept account for several years. stated that
the checks of the latter were dishonored because
they had money to their credit and, further
more, had no securities on deposit,
claimed by the Colunbian's officers Mr. Bell
said that the securities referred TO consisted of
checks and drafts outside banks, and that the
Farmers and Mechanics would not accept them
except for collection. and if they proved good
the money would be paid. but nothing would be
advanced. It is understood from reliable
sources that the chief causes of the failure were
heavy advances made on drafts of the Ives Stay
nor party OF New York and advances made on
cons.gnments of merchandise shipped from
South America and other points, which were not
taken up by the consignees, thus leaving the
bank in crippled condition. The failure
saused some excitement in the city, although
among financial men il was not much Of a sur
prise.
At half past 2 it was stated by the bank off
cials that they would not issue statement'to-
day, IL being impossible to get matters in shape

stocks put down Mt $l33 600. but their market

When the negotiations for the purchase of the
Baltimore Sc Ohio stock from Robert Garrett
were in progress, Ives deposited considerable
amount of money margin premium and
when the negotiations were declared at end
Ives did not get this money back and Garrett
went to Europe, thus leaving it tied up for some
time at least. Therefore Ives considerably

The solicitor for the bank states there
